Katharine Merry, the former athlete. I didn’t know she’s a Villa fan.

Looks like a swimmer but it's listed she was a runner!

She's very much a Villa fan, she often mentions it on Fighting Talk.
I don't her and I don't know fighting talk?

I see that's a podcast does she present that
Katherine Merry won an Olympic bronze medal over 400M at Sydney 2000 although as a teenager she was an exceptional sprinter. Injuries plagued her career though. She us now an athletics presenter, stadium announcer and commentator. She lives in Solihull (at least she did last time I heard).

Fighting Talk is a comedy sports panel show on Radio 5Live on Saturday mornings,

and she's a really lovely person, met her loads of times. She could've been genuinely world class with a bit more luck with her fitness.

is that Simon Jordan’s partner?

You’re thinking of Steve Parish and Susanna Reid

Impossible not to love the man. Not just professionally for all he’s done for Aston Villa, but he’s genuinely a really good man. We are very fortunate to have him.

Just sat here thinking about who we had before Emery. Fuck me Steven Gerrard really was, and still is such a colossal wanker.

I'd love to know what went down in that pre season tour in Australia. Nothing seemed right in the camp after it.
